So glad I've got my own office now with its own temp. controls.

The meat locker?

Yes.

Okay - hands up those who think that working for Frontline is more than there life is working ?

Hey, at least I allow porn on company computers.

Frontline-Approved porn or generic random "Oh whoops shouldn't have clicked that" porn?

Nothing but the finest and stuff that will put you in therapy for a decade at least

ON a side note... I had a job for a restaurant some time ago, and at some point I told a new girl *go wash the salad crops*. I came back a little bit later and saw water with soapbubbles. "What are you doing?" "I'm making soap to wash the salad!" And then, there was some silence while my lower jaw almost dropped to the floor Suffice the say, she was a flex worker, she didn't came back the next day

First of all, I don't think it's too much to ask of a superior to practice the polite pretense of asking the new "girl" to "please go wash the salad crops", regardless of your authority to bark orders. Secondly, although soaping the lettuce is a comically unbelievable example of incompetent misinterpretation that seems to denote a very real learning disability on the part of the "flex" worker, would she have been destined to make this mistake again had she been told not to repeat it? Instead, she was thrown out like so much rotten lettuce.

If you and your former employer don't have the patience to correct honest mistakes (unless she was getting soap just to be a smart-ass) then what hope do these people have? If you won't train a learning disabled person to work in a kitchen, then where are they to work?

Dude, if you are that stupid, I would not spend the time. Whats next? Teach them how to tie their shoes? A business is not a welfare agency.

Menopause causes extreme behavior that could lead to such rash breaches of company policy.

No, stupidity causes such actions. Menopause is not an excuse.

That doesn't mean she can't be held responsible for her actions with a write-up/warning; but it also doesn't mean she should be terminated and not afforded another chance as she learns to cope with the psychological effects of her biological condition. Unless she's been doing this sort of thing repeatedly and habitually, I consider it grossly over-reactionary to fire her.

You cost me 10s of thousands of dollars of revenue / profit, you're gone. No ifs, ands, or buts. Your ass will be out the door so fast it will take a week for the rest of your body to catch up.

I've never met anyone who can tie shoes, but I know many people can tie their shoe laces
